Observations. — The supply of vegetables has hitherto been very regular, 

 and very little fluctuation in price has taken place. Our supply of English 

 fruit has been unprecedentcdly small, but from the very great importation of 

 foreign fruits, the prices have remained stead}' and moderate. But few Ame- 

 rican apples have come to hand, and those in bad condition, consequently 

 the prices may be considered nominal. Oranges, nuts, and chestnuts in 

 their usual abundance. — G. C. Jan. 17. 1829.
